A huge great white shark raised its head above the water, its sharp teeth gleaming frighteningly in the sunlight.
"Quick, get on the boat!" Boss Fu, who had been smiling as he took the net from Fu Wan's hand, suddenly changed his expression.
Even if Fu Wan is a skilled swimmer, she's now risking her life.
So she quickly lay down at the stern and climbed onto the boat.
It wasn't clear underwater; Fu Wan could only see the horrific scene not far away when she was standing on the boat.
There were quite a few people who had just gone diving to try their luck, and even Xue Qing and Jiu Jingxiong came down fully equipped.
The sea erupted into chaos, with everyone fleeing in panic.
Many people were on boats nearby, and they were desperately trying to escape onto the boats.
"Dad, it seems like that great white shark is chasing people wearing diving suits?"
Fu Wan stood at the stern of the boat. Boss Fu, who was about to start the boat, also looked carefully into the distance after Fu Wan said that.
Sure enough, although the great white shark would chase people in the sea from time to time, it had no interest in villagers wearing tattered clothes and would turn away even if they were right in its mouth.
But Xue Qing, who was wearing a diving suit, opened his mouth wide and took a bite.
Although Xue Qing's men were all good swimmers, a few of them were slower swimmers and were bitten by great white sharks.
"Dad, this shark is eating people!"
The blood instantly stained the clear seawater red. Boss Fu didn't have time to say anything more and started the boat to head towards the deserted island they had gone to before.
It's not that he was heartless and refused to help; if that shark had just used its tail to lash their boat a few times, they would have capsized.
Saving people is only possible without endangering oneself; in this situation, going up would be suicide.
Standing at the stern, Fu Wan could clearly see that several of the villagers' boats had been capsized by sharks, and many other boats were speeding away in the opposite direction.
Xue Qing estimated that he had successfully boarded the ship, and the large ship began to move slowly.
It's unclear whether their ship was too big and conspicuous, or if the shark genuinely recognized the ship, but it actually chased after it.
Xue Qing was in a terrible state. He hadn't taken off his wetsuit yet, and the once brand-new wetsuit was now tattered. Fortunately, he hadn't been bitten.
"Sang Xue, this shark is a demon blocking my path to success. I must find the imperial seal left behind by the Emperor this time!"
When Xue Qing heard Jiujingxiong's words, he was about to curse.
However, given that Kujiro was in a much worse situation than him, he didn't utter the curse.
Kujiro is a typical Japanese man, only about 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than Xue Qing, who is 1.8 meters tall.
He hadn't been in the water for a long time, and he never expected to encounter a great white shark as soon as he went in. Not to mention, this idiot actually had a polished shark tooth hanging around his neck.
Oh, I heard they ate shark fin soup so early in the morning.
He swam slowly and smelled of his dead companions; it would be strange if the shark didn't attack him.
It bit off one of his calves.
At this moment, whether it was from pain or hallucination, Kujiro actually started screaming and yelling.
Xue Qing didn't understand Japanese, but Kujii Yu occasionally mixed in a few words of Chinese, which Xue Qing understood about 70% of.
The term "jade seal" appears far too frequently.
It was no secret that the Imperial Seal of the State had not been found, not to mention that Xue Qing's family also had some influence and knew a lot about collecting antiques.
It's just that things weren't going well a few years ago, so everyone kept a low profile and hid all their valuables.
"Boss, this shark is chasing us!"
A subordinate rushed into the cabin, interrupting Xue Qing's thoughts.
There was no doctor on board this time, so Xue Qing could only give Jiu Jingxiong a simple bandage.
Xue Qing went outside, and there were hardly any ships left on the sea.
It must be said that the villagers fled for their lives at a very fast speed. Xue Qing looked around the sea and spotted the red flag fluttering on Fu Wan's boat in the distance.
What kind of class is this, using red?
Xue Qing had an idea in mind and beckoned Fu Qiang over.
"Go, tell the one at the helm, do you see that red flag? Speed up and head there."
If Fu Wan can tame an orca, she can probably handle a great white shark too.
Xue Qing thought about how Fu Wan had rejected him several times before, and now he felt relieved.
"Chase that ship with the red flag?"
Fu Qiang wasn't stupid; he could figure out whose ship it was with his toes.
However, since they were his relatives, he felt somewhat reluctant. But then he remembered that Fu Wan had previously defended Old Li, which led to him being scolded by Xue Qing.
He quickened his pace involuntarily.
Ah Wan, Uncle, don't blame him this time. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame his family for being unlucky, having to hang such a conspicuous red flag.
He was asking for it.
The man at the helm was surprised that Xue Qing would chase after that red flag instead of going to the dock. He immediately regretted taking on this job out of greed for money, but he had no choice but to turn the ship around due to Xue Qing's temper.
The great white shark would occasionally ram the large ship with its body; if they hadn't turned on the propeller, it probably would have dived down and capsized the ship.
Fu Wan had been watching the mess recede into the distance, but now that she saw the large ship moving in a strange direction, she immediately became alert.
"Father, that big ship is heading this way!"
Boss Fu turned his head, squinted at it for two minutes, and started cursing.
"Damn Xue Qing, he caused trouble himself and now he wants to drag someone down with him!"
They were already quite close to the deserted island, but Boss Fu didn't want to take these people there. He simply turned the rudder and headed to the other side.
"Father, where are we going?"
"Go to other sea areas."
He remembered there was another island not far from here, but because of the many reefs, small boats could stop there, but large ships probably wouldn't be able to.
Do you really think he's the boss with a good temper?
Small boats are no match for large ships. Just as Boss Fu and his men arrived at the small island, Xue Qing's boat was already nearby.
However, just as Boss Fu had predicted, the large ship had just reached the reef area and was originally planning to take a detour, but the great white shark chasing behind it seemed to have gotten impatient and simply ignored the spinning propeller and rammed into it.
The great white shark's impact sent the entire ship lurching forward, crashing directly into a massive reef.
"damn it!"
Xue Qing, who was standing, was hit by the ship and crashed into the reef. The impact caused him to slam his head into the unconscious Jiu Jingxiong.
He carefully wrapped the notebook in oil paper and put it into a small box.
He had just obtained it from Kujiro, who said it was a family notebook containing a lot of Chinese characters and a map showing the location of the Imperial Seal of the State.
Xue Qing was dreaming of getting rich, and now he's been jolted awake. How could he not be angry!
